MCIMX287CVM4B Overview
An application processor is a system-on-chip that combines a processor core with memory interfaces, graphics or display controllers, communications peripherals, and security hardware. In the product hierarchy, the MCIMX287CVM4B is a 32-bit microprocessor, an ARM-based embedded processor, and an i.MX28 multimedia applications processor. This integration is intended to reduce system cost and complexity while increasing design flexibility.
The verified distributor data identifies a 454 MHz ARM926EJ-S core, 32-bit architecture, one core, and a 289-pin MAPBGA package. NXP describes extensive peripheral integration covering display, connectivity, real-time control, security, and networking. These characteristics position the device for portable multimedia systems that combine a graphical interface with communication and control functions in one compact package.
The MCIMX287CVM4B belongs to NXP's established i.MX28 applications-processor family. Its architecture combines general-purpose processing with multimedia and connectivity-oriented peripherals rather than implementing only a minimal real-time control function. The package is therefore substantially more complex than a small microcontroller package and requires careful PCB escape routing, power planning, decoupling, and software support.
Typical uses include portable human-interface devices, color-display terminals, connected consumer products, and embedded multimedia equipment. NXP markets the part as suitable for portable devices with rich user interfaces, while the integrated networking, security, and real-time-control blocks support connected product designs. Its 14 x 14 mm MAPBGA package also makes fine-pitch layout, via-in-pad considerations, and assembly-process planning important.
When designing a new board, engineers should follow the NXP reference design, supported power supplies, memory topology, and pin-multiplexing guidance rather than treating the processor as a generic 32-bit IC. The product is marked NRND, so production continuity, last-time-buy conditions, or an approved migration path should be confirmed with NXP before committing new designs.
This page combines verified distributor identification, manufacturer positioning, lifecycle status, sourcing information, and practical engineering context. It is intended to complement the official datasheet and reference materials rather than replace them.

Typical Applications
MCIMX287CVM4B is suitable for 6 applications: Portable Color-Display Terminals, Connected Consumer Products, Industrial HMI and Control Panels, Multimedia Portable Media Devices, Networked Data Acquisition Products, Existing Portable-Product Maintenance.
Portable Color-Display Terminals
The MCIMX287CVM4B fits portable terminals because NXP identifies its multimedia applications processor role and integration of display functions for rich, high-color interfaces. A 454 MHz ARM926EJ-S core can support the processor-side workload of an embedded HMI while integrated connectivity and networking simplify peripheral organization. The design should use the official NXP display-interface configuration, memory topology, and reference schematic. Because the device is NRND and uses a 289-pin 14 x 14 mm MAPBGA, it is best suited to existing products or lifecycle-approved designs rather than unrestricted new development.
Recommended
Connected Consumer Products
The MCIMX287CVM4B is suitable for connected consumer equipment when a product needs user-interface processing and networking in one device. NXP explicitly lists networking, connectivity, security, and display among the integrated functional domains, reducing the number of separate interface devices in an architecture. Engineers should validate the exact Ethernet, security, and peripheral assignments against the official data sheet and pin multiplexing tables. Any connected product should also account for the processor's NRND lifecycle and obtain documented supply assurance rather than relying only on current distributor stock.
Recommended
Industrial HMI and Control Panels
The integrated display, real-time control, and networking capabilities make the MCIMX287CVM4B relevant to industrial HMI and control-panel architectures. The 32-bit ARM926EJ-S core at 454 MHz can manage an embedded user interface while control-specific interfaces handle connected system functions. Firmware partitioning should isolate display and network tasks from deterministic control work, and hardware validation must follow NXP's power, clock, memory, and BGA layout recommendations. For new industrial programs, the NRND status makes an explicit product-lifecycle and migration plan essential.
Recommended
Multimedia Portable Media Devices
NXP describes the MCIMX287CVM4B as an i.MX28 multimedia applications processor for portable devices with rich interfaces, making it a candidate for portable media products that combine playback, display, control, and networking. Its one-core 454 MHz ARM926EJ-S implementation provides a defined processing platform, while integrated multimedia and connectivity blocks can reduce discrete component count. Actual media formats, display timing, memory bandwidth, and external interfaces remain design-specific and are not included in the verified snippets. Confirm them through the official NXP data sheet and reference software support.
Recommended
Networked Data Acquisition Products
The MCIMX287CVM4B can serve as the high-level control processor in a networked data-acquisition product because its integrated domains include networking, security, display, and real-time control. The application processor can manage configuration, local presentation, and communication while separate data-path circuitry performs acquisition. The verified data does not identify the exact acquisition interfaces or timing limits, so designers must confirm signal availability, interrupt behavior, and electrical characteristics in the official data sheet. Production use also requires confirmation of lifecycle support because the processor is NRND.
Recommended
Existing Portable-Product Maintenance
The MCIMX287CVM4B is particularly relevant to maintenance and continuation programs for products already built around its 289-pin MAPBGA footprint, ARM926EJ-S software base, and peripheral assignments. Using the original processor can avoid PCB redesign and preserve device drivers, operating-system work, and validation effort. Because NXP marks the part NRND, maintenance teams should document remaining supply, authorize any last-time-buy quantities, control counterfeits, and plan a tested migration. NRND does not itself establish immediate obsolescence, but it is a strong signal to secure supply continuity.

Design Notes
Treat the 289-pin, 14 x 14 mm MAPBGA as a high-density routed package and follow the official NXP reference layout rather than improvising escape geometry. Confirm ball-pad, solder-mask, via, and paste recommendations against the current hardware design files. Keep power and ground distribution planes continuous where the design guide permits, and validate assembly yield with the selected board stackup and assembly process.
The verified snippets do not expose the complete rail table, current limits, sequencing rules, or tolerance bands, so do not infer power requirements from the 454 MHz operating frequency. Use NXP's recommended power tree, decoupling values, startup sequence, and layout reference. Validate each rail at maximum processor activity and across temperature because a 289-ball applications processor can require coordinated multi-rail delivery.
Do not treat MCIMX287CVM4C or another i.MX part as a drop-in substitute merely because distributor comparison tools place it in the same family. A valid processor migration must cover all 289 balls, supply rails, clocks, memory topology, boot straps, pin multiplexing, exposed-pad or thermal requirements, software releases, and lifecycle approvals. The available community result raises the suffix question without resolving it.
Compliance Information
The supplied verified results do not explicitly state RoHS, REACH, lead-free, halogen-free, or conflict-minerals compliance. AEC-Q100 is treated as not applicable because this is an i.MX28 multimedia applications processor rather than an identified automotive-qualified device.
